Refresh a Convolo backstory when a contact is added
Capture relationship context once, then make it available in the next conversation.
Trigger
New Contact Added
Triggered when a new contact is added in the Outlook contacts.
Action
Update Character Backstory
Tool to update a character's backstory. Use when you need to modify the backstory of an existing character after confirming its ID. Only the provided fields will be updated.
Why this helps
New contact details are stored in Outlook but forgotten when the character speaks later.
- Keep contact context in one place
- Improve continuity across conversations
- Reduce repeated briefing work
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Outlook and Convolo ai once in Notis.
- 2Create an automation and describe which contact details belong in the character backstory.
- 3Tell Notis to identify the matching character, add only relevant professional context, and preserve the existing backstory unless the contact is clearly related.
- 4Pick New Contact Added as the trigger.
- 5Choose a report channel, then test with one real contact.
Questions about this workflow
Will it copy every contact field?
No. Instruct Notis to include only context useful for the character's conversations.
What if no matching character exists?
Have Notis report the missing character and stop without changing another character.
